I only buy batts @ hobbyking.com, they have a US warehouse. The batts were ~$24 each and the charger was ~$36 and does a max of 7A and will charge any type of battery including LiPo up to 8s. Yea, mine is 4WD. I ripped a wheel hex, then later exploded a rim yesterday jumping logs. With the new setup it will do rolling wheelies when punching at over 40 mph. :lol Get your shit running, if you want you can try my batts out. I need more people to bash with.
